rolled felt flowers

While on my latest felt flower making kick, I also made these easy rolled flowers.

Cut a long strip of felt, I prefer wool felt (my strips were about 18″ long and 2″ wide) then fold over and glue lengthwise…just along the edge.

Then cut little slits however wide you like, and end them about 3/8″ from the bottom. (notice my awesome new scissors? The nice folks at Olfa sent them to me…and they are fantastic for this kind of project!)

Also, cutting closer to the bottom helps the flower lay flatter.

Then start rolling and gluing along the bottom edge.

Add a couple of felt leaves and you’ve got a cute flower for a headband, clip, or brooch!

You truly are a wonder jess. I just received some wool felt in the mail yesterday and spent the night making some flowers so what an awesome time for you to post this tutorial. Can’t wait to try all your ideas too. Thanks for being such an inspiration

This was so simple, and I was in such a bad mood yesterday, that I went home and gave it a try. I can never make fabric flowers and this turned out pretty! Thanks for the great tutorial. I’m loving all the flowers.

These are too cute and way easy! Thanks for the tute! I had to make some for the girls’ Christmas stockings! Good thing at 20 months I can use them to model stuff that will be going in their stockings, LOL. I’m posting a pic to the flickr group in a minute!
